Ten

die in South Korean flooding

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Seoul's main road is flooded

 

 

 

At

least 10 people have died and another 17 are missing after heavy rains hit

South Korea, the emergency services say.

There were flash floods and landslides as monsoon rains

inundated the eastern province of Gangwon.

More than 2,000 people are reported to have fled their homes and

are in emergency shelters.

The severe weather is forecast to continue over the next few

days with the capital, Seoul, also affected.

The 10 confirmed victims were killed by mudslides in Inje, 165km

(102 miles) east of Seoul, and Pyeongchang,

180km (112 miles) east of the capital, the emergencies agency was quoted as

saying by the Associated Press.

There were no immediate reports of possible flood damage in North Korea, South Korea's neighbour.
